McCain was experiencing severe electronic problems, as was the Fitzgerald. Both ships were built in the same shipyard. Both are BMC Ballistic Missile Carriers, out of Japan. Both are members of a group of 6 ships that alternate there patrols in the same area.Now there are 4 ships instead of 6. So the other 4 will have to double up on patrol areas and replenish at sea. Now there is 2 less ships to shoot down N K missiles. Cyber attack activities against ships are being looked at.
Fitzgerald was rammed by a container ship that turned around and did a 180 once they saw where the Fitzgerald was.
